Deploying Mkdocs- and Doxygen-built static files

1

I want to deploy project documentation generated using Doxygen and Mkdocs (uses mkdoxy as a plugin).

I am unsure how to set up deployment especially the build commands since the documentation generation depends heavily on Doxygen and Mkdocs.

I know Python support is available on Render but how do I pip install my packages from a requirements.txt?
I’m not sure Doxygen is supported on Render but is there a way to install it for my build process?

Many thanks for your consideration.

Hi there,

I’d suggest reviewing some of our other Python Quickstarts for examples of how pip install is called as a part of the build process.

That being said, you will need to deploy your service using Docker if you want to include additional operating system-level dependencies like Doxygen. In that case, you’d just need to include pip install in your Dockerfile.
